ing head Iii-operates at an angle with respectto the bottom wall of the container 12 for purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.

The head 13 is preferably dish-shaped and formed of sheet metal, corrugations being formed therein to present a roughened surface to grip the articlesunder operatioinand prevent movement the head 13 with respect to the articles, when the machine is in A peripheral flange 31 is formed on the head13 and extends upwardly from the head, so that a' relatively. wide surface will be presented at the periphery of the head to eliminate wear of the articles by contact with the ed e of the head.

Reference character 32 designates, the

7 cover for the receptacle l2 which-isiformed with an elongated opening 33 to permit the shaft. 29 to extend therethrough, a cover plate 34 being also provided to close the opening 33 but permit of movement of the shaft transversely of the cover when the thecontainer, the weight being now adjusted to cause the head to exert a articlesin the container.

- The shaft 14: isnow rotated, which in turn, imparts rotar movement to the shaft 9 and container 12. Since the articlestin the container are held between the bottom of the container and head 13, it is obvious that the pressure on the head 13 will rotate'with the container 12, to

theend thatthe articles positioned under the head are placed under pressure at one side of the containerwhenthe container is rotated, while thepressureis relieved at the opposit side thereof. Upon continued r0 tation of the container'12, it will be seen that a suction. is created at the high side of 'thehead 13, to remove foreign matter from the articles eing washed.

Nhenthe articles have been thoroughly cleaned it will be noted that the arm, -20

may be tilted to remove the head from the container, whereupon the articles. may be removed and articles to becleaned, placed therein. iVhat is claimed-as new is 1. In a washing machine, a platform, a rotatable container on theplatform, a pivoted supporting arm mounted above the platform, a pivotedbracket at one end' of the supporting ;arm, means for adjusting the supporting arm, a shaft supported by the bracket, and a head on the lower end of the shaft and positionedin the container.

2. In a washing machine, a platform, a rotatable container positioned on the platform, a pivoted arm supported above the platform, a bracket pivotally supported at one end of the arm, said bracket having bearings, an

angularly disposed. shaft mounted to rotateinlthe bearings, acircular headjat the lower end of the shaft and 0p erating'in a plane at a loblique angle with respect to thebottom of the container, and meansfor holding the pivoted arm in various positions of adjustment. c
